## What is MAL-2026-12909?

MAL-2026-12909 is a malicious package in bnpl-blocks-data-schema-generator, published on 5 Aug 2026. 

### Official description

index.js unconditionally requires _bootstrap.js, which on module load reconstructs Cloudflare Workers subdomains (oob-worker.cf10x-xxx.workers.dev) and *.dl.wel1.ru hosts from split string fragments, fetches a platform-specific executable via https.get with a DNS-TXT fallback that reassembles base64 chunks from numbered subdomains, writes the payload to a temp path under disguised names (e.g. dotnet_diag_*.exe,.cache_*), chmods 0755 on Unix, and spawns it detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe /c start. A second file lib/telemetry.js labelled as a telemetry SDK contains the same write+chmod+spawn primitives (Buffer.from(chunks,'base64'), cp.spawn('/bin/sh',['-c', filePath+' &']), fs['chmod'+'Sync'](extensionPath, 0755)) as a redundant dropper. The behavior fires whenever any consumer require()s the package, giving arbitrary remote code execution on the installer's host.

## What should I do about MAL-2026-12909?

Remove the package from your dependencies and lockfiles, then rotate any secrets on machines where it was installed.
